This stage of the route begins on the Swabian Alb. Trochtelfingen is surrounded by mountains and hills, offering not only relaxation and beautiful nature but also the opportunity to admire the historic old town with its half-timbered houses. From Trochtelfingen, we head towards Steinhilben. Here, the Augstberg Tower of the Swabian Alb Association is a must for anyone wanting to enjoy a beautiful view. Many small villages now adorn our further route in the Danube valley. In the village of Zwiefalten, Upper Swabian baroque can be admired. Those needing a refreshment should try the well-known and popular Zwiefalter Klosterbräu, brewed here since the 16th century. We continue cycling along the Zwiefalter Ach. At the river's mouth into the Danube lies Zwiefaltendorf with its charming castle in an idyllic location directly on the river. The path along the Danube leads us to the end of the route in Riedlingen. The old town with its fountains and the market square surrounded by half-timbered houses give the town its special flair.
From the medieval-shaped Trochtelfingen, the route heads west onto the Swabian Alb. We soon reach the district of Steinhilben and from there turn directly south, continuing towards the splendid landscape: green fields and meadows as far as the eye can see. We pass through tranquil towns like Wilsingen and Pfronstetten; in Aichstetten, we turn right heading south to Tigerfeld. The journey continues in a peaceful sequence through Huldstetten and Gauingen to Zwiefalten. A highlight there is the monastery with the Zwiefalter Münster and the Wimsener Cave, the only water cave in Germany accessible by boat. Thirsty throats are quenched at the Zwiefalter monastery brewery, the beer is popular far beyond the region's borders. The route continues to Zwiefaltendorf, where we turn south. Shortly after crossing the Danube, we reach Bechingen, leave Daugendorf on our left, and finally arrive at the stage destination Riedlingen, a medieval-shaped town. Worth seeing are the town hall ensemble, the town fortifications, and the many half-timbered houses.
